it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'

Gandalf wasn't a wizard.

The answer is obviously Urza.

Urza ain't no loving wizard man, he an artificer. Even as a planeswalker he just built poo poo, wizardry was never his jam.

what a dumb poo poo thing to say gandalf wears a big floppy hat, carries a staff, does magic and calls himself a loving wizard, he could not be any more of a wizard without a giant gross mark millar-esque illustration of him loving you up the rear end with his giant wooden staff and saying "THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE WHEN IM WIZARDING IN YOUR rear end"

for real though, gandalf is probably the basis for like 90% of wizards in fantasy fiction but he was a demigod and I think having divine power makes you a cleric technically? plus dude like hardly ever actually cast a spell, he mostly just gave advice and poo poo.

really far as old school fantasy wizards go jack vance was way more on the ball than tolkien.

For forcing plots upon the protagonists juuuust difficult enough to challenge them but not outright evil enough to just slaughter the heroes in their sheep, thereby allowing the magic-tool-using good guys to learn a little bit about themselves as they "shut down" yet another masterfully-crafted plan :twisted:

Mazirian gets hosed up by some plants in pretty short order but he's a pretty cool vancian wizard, and I think hes the origin of color spray which we can all agree is a pretty useful wizard spell

Turjan is where it's at tho, really you can't go wrong with Dying Earth if you like wizards and wizarding

E: it's also pretty heavily implied that magic is based on math and the reason wizards can only remember a few spells at a time is because they involve memorizing complex mathematic formulae, which is a cool and fairly logical reason for that restriction and something D & D should have cribbed from Vance along with everything else

oh god what is wrong with me

You could never murder idiots who made the mistake of creating a new character on Darktide with Assassins Creed.

"Nice flaming katar you literally jacked from someone else 5 seconds ago. Now it's mine. Now I'm going to PM you telling you to come meet me in the countryside to get it really far away from your lifestone, and also I'm sorry.

Then I loving murder you again and destroy all of your stupid baby poo poo."

I think everyone deserves an explanation for why two people voted for this dipshit. According to google he's a little bitch side character that runs away from everything. Meanwhile, the affliction tshirt guy appears to be melting people with lightning and he looks cool too.

I fail to see how he's better than even Tellah. He can cast spells that loving kill him in the process because he told u he's hardcore.
